Cashner is coming off one of the best starts ever by a Padre. In Pittsburgh last Monday, Cashner allowed one hit and no walks and became the first Padres pitcher ever to face the minimum 27 hitters in a nine-inning game. He took a perfect game into the seventh. It was the first complete game and shutout of Cashner’s career. Cashner will be making his 26th start. Cashner is 5-3 with a 2.36 ERA in 10 starts in the second half with a .198 opponents batting average.
